Rosanna Parthenia Faubion

After the shop was closed for the day, and the evening meal was over young William with his thoughts still on the young lady, garbed in a clean homespun shirt, and his Sunday-go-to-meeting pants, hied himself away to the movers camp to get acquainted, especially with the young woman who had so appealed to his fancy. . . The next morning at the breakfast table, young William announced to his astonished parents that he was going to be married . . ."This morning, and to Miss Perthenia Ayers. . . . .one of the young ladies down at the movers camp. . . ."
This was indeed a case of love at first sight, and a long happy and very prosperous life was given this young couple. . . under the law his services were the property of his parents. . . .As a concession to the young man and to permit him to make a support for himself and young wife, he was permitted by his father to have all he could make in the shop after the days work was over. . .

But the strangest and most pathetic part is, the parents, brothers and sisters of the young woman so peculiarly married, hitched up their teams and went on their way. . .She never saw any of them again, nether did she hear of them again during her long life.
